Mini-Me trick Photography
 

In this short project you will expand your Knowledge and skill level of Digital Photography.
You will compose a humorous illusion image consisting of yourself or someone you know (perhaps a group) in a diminutive form set in a context that appears to be much larger. In other words
you are creating a "minime"

> work alone or in a small group
> the chosen environment will be in rm 23
> the subject is yourself or group members
> 8" x 10" high  res = 150  or 300 pix/inch
> include a short caption using talk bubbles in PhotoShop
> TELL A STORY SNIPPET in pictures


Preproduction : brainstorm and consider various possibilities given the limitations of your environment! (what can you use nearby for the enlarged environment, what is the posture of the subject, what do you want to say?)

What to consider

> observe the shadows in your base photo the subject image should have similar shadowing (difficult)
> will the subject cast a shadow?
> scale down significantly to make it humorous
> there are lots of plants and animals in the room!!
> generate a simple humourous statement early and match your production 


Production Tips :
> make a plan
> use the eraser tool to make the subject appear to be behind something
> use shadow drops ( burn tool)  to give presence to the subject
(get the correct light angle!!!)
> some photo enhancement might be helpful to match up the subject and background


Post production : you will print out in letter sized paper and hopefully place 2 images on one print then laminate the printout slice for sizing
